Officials said artificial intelligence is being used for reconnaissance, data collection, identifying system vulnerabilities, and generating sophisticated phishing emails.

US officials have repeatedly accused North Korea of state-sponsored cyber activity, including hacking and cryptocurrency theft.

These operations blur the line between cyber and traditional warfare. While no physical damage may be immediately visible, the groundwork is being laid for potential future actions
